每)取一个NP谓词并创建一个广义量词。本文的目的是将这些信念置于跨语言的审查之下。我首先说明，在St ‘ át ’ imcets （Lillooet Salish）中，量词总是需要论证类型的姊妹，并且从NP谓词创建广义量词总是分两步进行，而不是一步。然后，我明确地采用强零假设，即量词的表示应该是跨语言一致的。由于通常的英语分析无法捕捉到萨利希语的数据，所以我认为英语可以简化为萨利希语模式。需要对许多英语结构进行重新分析。我认为这种再分析比分词的标准分析更有优势，也比非分词的alland most-phrases的标准分析更有优势，我将其分析为包含论证类型的纯复数。即使在新的分析面临一些挑战的地方（例如，与每一个），这种尝试仍然会导致富有成效的结果。它迫使我们以一种新的眼光看待熟悉的结构，并重新定义，我相信是正确的，哪些量化结构是“基本的”，哪些需要进一步解释。
every) take an NP predicate and create a generalized quantifier. The goal of this paper is to subject these beliefs to crosslinguistic scrutiny. I begin by showing that in St’át’imcets (Lillooet Salish), quantifiers always require sisters of argumental type, and the creation of a generalized quantifier from an NP predicate always proceeds in two steps rather than one. I then explicitly adopt the strong null hypothesis that the denotations of quantifiers should be crosslinguistically uniform. Since the Salish data cannot be captured by the usual analysis of English, I pursue the idea that English is reducible to the Salish pattern. Reanalysis of many English constructions is required. I argue that the reanalysis has advantages over the standard analysis for partitives, as well as for non-partitive alland most-phrases, which I analyze as containing bare plurals of argumental type. Even where the new analysis faces some challenges (for example, with every), the attempt still leads to fruitful results. It forces us to view familiar constructions in a new light, and to redefine, I believe correctly, which quantificational constructions are ‘basic’ and which stand in need of further explanation.
